Bacardi Gold rum

Bacardi Gold

United States | Gold | 40% ABV

Bacardi Gold rum is manufactured in Puerto Rico where it is distilled from fermented molasses. It is then filtered through charcoal and aged in charred oak barrels for between 1 and 2 years. Unlike Bacardi Superior, Bacardi Gold is only filtered once.

Bacardi's official logo, a fruit bat, dates to 1862 when founder Don Facundo Bacardi found fruit bats living in rafters of the building he bought to house the distillery. Bats are considered an omen of good luck in Cuba and have emblazoned Bacardi rum bottles ever since.

While helping my elderly parents move, there was a bottle in their liquor cabinet. It was better than I thought it would be (no, not a resounding endorsement), but free likely helped. Went straight to mixing, and did not waste time with sipping it.

Only if your giving to inexperienced drinkers who want cheap stuff to mix. This is not for a serious rum drinker to consider

I was desperate and the only rum around was Bacardi Gold. I had low expectations and it lived up to them. I'm a rocks sipper and this is not acceptable. Harsh and a taste not to my liking. I do include price as a factor so it bumps it up to a 5 but that's it. Don't try it on the rocks.

All the burn with none of the flavor. My first attempt at trying rum and I went for a brand I recognized. Led me to believe I disliked rum but now after trying multiple more quality competitors realized this rum just sucks! Not great for use in cocktails. Not great to sip on its own. It will get you buzzed but wont taste good while its doing it.

Bottle purchased at a grocery store near you. I usually pay $18 for a handy. Rich gold color. Banana aroma. Benchmark flavor of rum honey sweetness. Finishes thin and unobtrusive. I’m not a hater of this working man’s rum.

Kinds of reminds me of Ricola honey and eucalyptus cough drops and it pretty much ends there. Harsh. What flavor there is, is drowned out by the harshness. I actually am now in the mood for some Ricola. Will need to buy some to get rid of this taste. Happy that I spent only $2 on a 50ml but even that may have been too much.

A cheap rum from a solid brand. You won't get anything remotely special out of Bacardi Gold, but that's ok. It's a solid enough rum.
